large piece of glass in IKEA FOOD labeled jars of marinated herring. To our knowledge no one has been hurt. These reports were not in Canada.

precautionary measure IKEA is recalling IKEA FOOD labeled jars of marinated herring with a Best Before Date 13-02-2008 or
earlier. The Best Before Date (DD-MM-YYYY) is to be found on the label directly
above the bar code.
